Over/under for number of days until some kid is killed trying to duplicate this stunt: 6

Lakers’ G Kobe Bryant jumping over a moving car in a Nike commercial. Is it the height or irresponsibility or a pathetic attempt to up his street cred?

Yes, we know it’s not real. The Lakers wouldn’t allow it and would be screaming bloody murder if Kobe’d really attempted this stunt without their permission. Even with the “don’t try this at home” disclaimer, we can’t image NBA Commish David Stern was very happy when he saw this commercial.

But it’s not like this stunt hasn’t been attempted before, with varying degrees of failure.

Here’s one:

Another that’s about as real as Kobe’s

This one looks seriously bad:

And on a lighter note:

In 2002, Royals OF Joey Gathright showed his hops, albeit over a stationary car.
